THe Lords and Commons in Parliament Assembled, being certainly informed of great resort of people unto this City of London, both by Land and Water, of which some are suspected to bee persons ill affencted to the Peace of this City and kingdom, and for want of careful Watches and examination of passengers that come both by Land and Water, many Officers and Souldiers of the Army, under his Excellency the earl of Essex, do likewise repair unto this City, and neglect their service and duty in the Army, which may be very dangerous, if some course be not directed to restrain the same; And it being also discovered, that Provisions of corn, Butter, Cheese, and such like have in great quantities been carried from this City, with intent to be transported unto other places, which at this time cannot conveniently be spared, nor may in policy be permitted; do Order and ordain, that no victual or Provision, of what nature or kind soever, be allowed or suffered to be carried or transported by Land or Water, out of or from the City of London, without special Licence or direction first had and obtained from both or either Houses of Parliament. And that no Officer or Soldier of the Army of his Excellency be in any case suffered to come into this City, not having a due Certificate of the cause of his coming from the same; And if any shall presume to come thence, not being so licensed, the several Persons and Guards appoynted to attend, for the defence and safety of this City, both by watet and by Land, are required to Attach and bring him or them before the Committee of the House of Commons for Examination, as also all such other persons of whom there shall be any cause of suspicion that they are not rightly affencted to the Peace of this City or Kingdom; And it is specially recommended to the Committee for the Militia of London, that they would by their endeavours take care and give direction unto fit persons for preventing the several inconveniencies above mentioned. And the several Officers of the Customehouse, Captaines, and other Officers of Forts and Castles, and all other persons whom it may concern, are hereby commanded and required, to make stay of, and to search all persons, Ships, barks, Boats, and other Vessels, that shall pass, or go into, or out of, or from the City of London, or upon the River of Thames, and if any shall be found offending in the premises, to seize and detain the same, until further direction shall be given therein by both or either Houses of Parliament.

WHereas the Lords and Commons are informed, that the town of Manchester, and some other parts within the County Palatine of Lancaster, have for a long time been at excessive Charges for the defence of such as are well affencted to the proceedings of Parliament, from the Injuries, Oppressions, illegal and exorbitant practices of the Commissioners of Array, the Papists, and other Malignant persons within that county; and now when their power doth much increase, by the general rising of the Papists there, and therefore have great need of a Supply of Strength( which was long since expected) yet on the contrary, they will be forced to disband their Garrison of Souldiers, which they have maintained as long as they are able, and so expose themselves not onely to the Violence of their Enemies, but much dishonour the Cause, and weaken the good party, unless they have some present supply of Money: Therefore it is Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament, That such moneys or Plate, as M. Thomas Case, or any other person shall under-write, for the defence of Lancashire, and the reducing of the Malignant party there, they shall have the public Faith to Be repaid, with satisfaction after eight pounds per Cent. And that Sir John Wooleston Knight, Alderman Warner, Alderman Towes, and Alderman Andrewes take such subscriptions, and issue the same for the use of the said county, by Warrant under the hands of any four or more Members of this House that serve for that county; who are to give Order for the disposing of the moneys in the said county, so as may best conduce for the service thereof, to give account thereof to the House of Commons.

WHereas it appears by a Report this day made from the Committee for the affairs of Ireland, and by the perusal of Letters from the Lord Inchequin, directed to M. tailor of Bristol, and referred to the consideration of that Committee, That divers Souldiers do run away from their Service in Ireland, and pass into this kingdom, to the prejudice of the Service there, and the discouragement of others that might come to their assistance; It is therefore Ordered by the Lords and Commons in Parliament assembled, That the mayor of Bristol for the time being, and other Officers of the western Ports of this kingdom, whom it may concern, do make diligent search from time to time for all such Souldiers and Officers of the Army in Ireland, as shall come from thence without the special Licence of the general, or him that commandeth in chief, and Land themselves at Bristol, or any other of the western Ports; and finding any such, that they forthwith, upon due Examination of them and the Ship-master that brought them over, do take Bond or other sufficient security of such Masters, to carry or cause to be carried back again at their own Charges such Souldiers, and to deliver them to the chief Officers of the Armies in Munster, to be proceeded against according to Martiall Law, and to receive condign punishment; and that they return the Names of such Ship-Masters as shall be so found to bring over such Souldiers, without good and sufficient Licence, to the Houses of Parliament, that they may receive such farther punishment for their Offence, as shall be thought meet.
